Bone-Thugs are clearly the most poetic hustlers on the graveyard shift, and I have been a big fan since the song crossroads opened my eyes to one of the best west coast rap CD’s I’ve ever heard (and their first CD) “E. 1999 Eternal.” If you haven’t heard it, you need to. But what I don’t understand, after buying and listening to their new CD, “Strengh & Loyalty,” is why I bought a Bone-Thugs CD and got a compilation with everyone and their mother on it. Everyone and their mother = (Akon; Mariah Carey; The Game; Bow Wow; Will.i.am; Swizz Beatz; Yolanda Adams and Twista) I mean, I am all for a guest or maybe two blessing an album. But I’m sorry; I didn’t buy a Bone-Thugs album to listen to Bow Wow. I was, and still am, extremely disappointed by this album and will not purchase another Bone-Thugs album till it is free and clear of ALL guest artists. What makes me more upset is that they have so much potential to make great music… but little Bow Wow, come on.
